"A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes." (4)

My partner, Louis Benech, and I have been together since 1997. Louis is a landscaping architect, a profession I left designing shoes for for two years.
